This week on the podcast, we’re going to be joined by Chris McCarroll, founder and editor of Allied Magazine. Chris started his business life in marketing and events, working with brands such as Buena Vista Walt Disney and Surf Life Saving before taking the leap and opening his own branding studio and health marketing agency.
Since Allied Magazine was founded, it is continuing to build a large following within the Health, Medical, Fitness, and Wellness communities.
Today, We’re exploring mastery of standing out, telling your story and collaboration.
QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE
“Everybody has their story. There’s going to be some resistance to telling it… and that’s okay. It’s all about what can you do to make that connection so people can understand you and get to know you before they’ve even met you.”
“You need to surround yourself with people who ‘get it’.”
“It’s not about connecting with everybody; we want to identify it and connect with a certain person, so it’s about always having them in mind when you’re creating your content.”
“Your story will continue to evolve.”
